There are probably several reasons for this. First of all, Paris is freaking freezing right now and we are glad to see at least one star with the sense to dress warmly (cold... a natural antidote to the spread of celebritydom? It might start eventually killing the underdressed off.)

But the second important reason that Kanye is wearing a fur-embellished coat is that he has obviously adopted the philosophy "When in Rome..." or, when in Paris as the case may be. Guys in the fashion capital (and the capital of France) are all about the fur-lined collars. It is warm and snuggly... but you don't see it as often in London or New York. Must be the French guys embracing the metro. And we don't mean the underground transport. Kanye's cool with that.

Besides, Kanye always knows what's cool before everyone. It's not for nothing that he's re-making Kim since she made him a baby.
